Advice and recommendations

• This appliance was designed for non-professional,

household use.

• Before using the appliance, read the instructions in the

owner’s manual carefully since it contains all the

instructions you require to ensure safe installation, use

and maintenance. Keep this owner’s manual in a safe

place for future reference.

• When you have removed the packing, check whether

the appliance is intact. If you have any doubts, contact

a qualified professional before using the appliance.

• Never leave the packing components (plastic bags,

polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) within the reach of

children since these are a source of potential danger.

• The appliance must be installed by a qualified technician

in compliance with the instructions provided by the

manufacturer.

• The latter denies all responsibility for improper

installation which may harm persons and animals and

damage property.

• The electrical safety of this appliance can only be

guaranteed if the latter is correctly and efficiently

earthed, in compliance with regulations on electrical

safety. Always ensure that this vital safety measure

has been taken. If you have any doubts, call in a

qualified technician to check the electrical system

thoroughly.

• The manufacturer denies all responsibility for damage

resulting from a system which has not been earthed

correctly.

• Before powering the appliance, check whether the

technical characteristics featured on the appliance data

plate correspond with those of the mains electrical

system.

• Check that the current load of the mains supply and of

the power sockets is suitable for the maximum power

of the appliance, indicated on the appliance data plate.

If in doubt, contact a qualified professional.

• This appliance must only be used for the purpose for

which it was expressly designed. Any other use (such

as heating a room for example) is considered to be

improper and consequently dangerous.

• The manufacturer denies all responsibility for damage

resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.

First use: the glue used on the hob seals may leave greasy traces on the glass surface. We recommend you wipe these

off before using the appliance, with the aid of a non abrasive cleaner. During the first few hours of use, you may detect

a smell of rubber, which will disappear quickly.

• Certain fundamental rules must be followed when using

electrical appliances. The following are of particular

importance:

• do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands,

• never use the appliance when barefoot,

• never use extensions,

• never pull on the power supply cable or the appli-

ance itself to unplug it from the mains socket,

• never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric

agents (rain, sun, etc.),

• do not allow children or persons who are not familiar

with the appliance to use it without supervision.

• Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch

off the main switch before cleaning or performing any

cleaning or maintenance operations.

• If the surface of the glass cracks, unplug the

appliance immediately. For any repairs, contact only

an authorised after-sales service centre and demand

original spare parts. Failure to comply with the above

may compromise the safety of the appliance.

• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the

appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring.

• Cut the power supply cable after disconnecting it from

the power mains when you decide not to use the

appliance any longer. Also make all potentially

dangerous parts of the appliance safe, above all for

children who could play with the appliance.

• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and

mechanical shocks. However, it may break due to a

shock caused by a sharp object, such as a tool for

example. In this case, unplug the appliance

immediately and contact an authorised after-sales

service centre to have it repaired.

• Remember that the heating area stays hot for at least

half an hour after being turned off; please refrain from

placing any cookware or other items on the cooking

zone while still hot.

• Do not turn on the heating zones if aluminium foil or

plastic items have been placed on the hob surface.

• Do not go near the heating zones when these are still

hot.

• If you use small electric appliances near the hob, make

sure their power supply cable does not come into contact

with the hot parts of the hob.

• Make sure all pan handles are always pointing inwards

towards the centre of the hob to prevent any accidental

spills.

_ Make sure that the air inlet behind the fan grille is

never obstructed. The built-in hob should, in fact, be

provided with suitable ventilation for the cooling of the

electronic components used in the appliance.

_ We advise against the installation of an induction hob

above an under-the-counter refrigerator (heat) or above

a washing machine (vibrations). In fact, there would be

insufficient space for the ventilation of electronic

components.

The following instructions are intended for a qualified fitter

to guide him/her along the installation, adjustment and tech-

nical maintenance procedures as correctly as possible and

in full compliance with the applicable norms in force.

Important : unplug the hob before all operations.

Installation

• This hob can be built into a worktop simply by cutting

out the corresponding slot.

• The worktop must be made with a material designed to

withstand a temperature of approximately 100°C.

• The hob should be positioned at least 40 mm away

from the back wall and 600 mm from any other vertical

surface in order to allow for correct ventilation and to

prevent the surfaces around the appliance from

overheating.

• If you wish to install the hob on top of an oven, the

latter must be fitted with a cooling fan.

• Try to avoid installing the hob on top of a dishwasher; if

this is unavoidable, place a watertight separating

element between the two appliances.

Fastening

Very important: It is vital that you ensure the glass ce-

ramic hob is built into a perfectly flat supporting surface.

Deformations due to improper fastening could alter the

characteristics of the hob and compromise its perform-

ance.

The fastening springs are fastened by screws (see dia-

gram).

It is vital that these screws be kept accessible at all

times.

Insert the hob into the cut-out slot, applying pressure all

along the perimeter of the hob frame so that the latter

adheres fully to the worktop.

amendments;

- 89/336/EEC of 03/05/89 (Electromagnetic compatibility)

and subsequent amendments;

- 93/68/EEC of 22/07/93 and subsequent amendments;

- 2002/96/EC

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old

household electrical appliances must not be disposed of

in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old

appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise

the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain

and reduce the impact on human health and the

environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the

product reminds you of your obligation, that when you di-

spose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer

for information concerning the correct disposal of their old

appliance.

Warning: If the hob is fitted above a built-in oven, the hob

and the oven must be connected to the mains separately

for safety reasons and to simplify operations when it is

necessary to pull the oven out for some reason.

Electrical connection

• The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

if the latter is correctly and efficiently earthed, in compliance

with regulations on electrical safety. Always ensure that this

vital safety measure has been taken. If you have any doubts,

call in a qualified technician to check the electrical system

thoroughly.

• The manufacturer denies all responsibility for damage result-

ing from a system which has not been earthed correctly.

• Before powering the appliance, check whether the technical

characteristics featured on the appliance data plate corre-

spond with those of the mains electrical system.

• Check that the current load of the mains supply and of the

power sockets is suitable for the maximum power of the ap-

pliance, indicated on the appliance data plate. If in doubt,

contact a qualified professional.

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before

all operations.

Connect your hob to the electrical system by means of a junc-

tion box: if the appliance is connected permanently to the mains,

an omnipolar circuit breaker, accessible if necessary, with a

minimum contact opening of 3 mm should be installed.

Valid only for models with a power supply cable

Some models are supplied with a single-phase power supply

cable, and should consequently only be connected to the single-

phase mains. Observe the wire colours, as indicated in the dia-

gram attached.

To install the cable, proceed as follows:

• unscrew the wire clamp screw and the contact screws.

• to make the desired electrical connection (see table), use the

jumpers housed inside the box. Position the power supply

cable wires according to the indications in the table.

• once the connections have been made, tighten all the terminal

screws fully.

• Fasten the supply cable in place with the clamp and close

the cover of the terminal board.

Valid only for models without a power supply cable

Some models are not fitted with a power supply cable, as the

cable should be sized according to the type of electrical connection

in use (see connection table below). To connect the cable, proceed

as follows:

• Using a screwdriver, prise on the side tabs of the terminal

board cover;

• Pull open the cover of the terminal board.

Cooking zone description

Induction is the fastest cooking method available.

Unlike traditional cooking zones, the induction zone does not heat up the glass surface. The pan itself is the heating

element: the pan evenly transfers heat to its contents as long as it is made of ferromagnetic material.

Each zone is controlled:

• by a selector key whose silk screen printing reproduces the cooking zone drawing,

• and by a power adjustment set comprising two parts (+,-).

As long as the temperature of the cooking zones remains above 60°C, even after use, the residual heat indicators

stay on(the power display indicates H) to prevent the risk of burns.

The safety devices

Acoustic signal

Anomalies such as:

• an object (such as a saucepan or a lid, etc.) placed

for more than 10 seconds on the control zone,

• boiled-over liquids or food spilled on the control zone,

• prolonged pressure on a key,...

could cause a beep to sound and the hob to turn off.

To stop the beep from sounding, remove the cause of the

malfunction.

To use the hob, turn it back on and re-select the cooking

zone(s) you wish to use. Set the desired heating power.

Overheating protection device

Should your appliance’s electronic components overheat,

the hob will turn off automatically and “—” will come up on

the power level display.

The letter will disappear as soon as the temperature drops

back down to an acceptable level.

Pan recognition

Each induction cooking zone is fitted with a pan recogni-

tion device. The cooking zone only provides heat in the

presence of a pan which is suitable for the cooking zone.

A blinking pan recognition indicator could signal:

• that the pan is made of unsuitable material, which is

not ferromagnetic,

• that the diameter of the pan is too small,

• that the pan has been removed.

Always match the diameter of the pan with that of the

cooking zones.

Warning: oval cooking zones

Oval cooking zones can only be boosted if the full oval is

enabled.

Do not place two small saucepans on oval cooking zones.

What cookware to use

Given that induction only exists when the magnetic field

is sealed by a metallic recipient, the pan stops being heated

as soon as it is taken off the cooking zone.

Use cookware made of material which is compatible

with induction (ferromagnetic material).

Cast iron, enamelled steel or special induction stain-

less steel saucepans are ideal.

Copper, ceramic, earthenware, glass, terracotta, aluminium

and non magnetic stainless steel cookware is incompat-

ible with induction cooking.

The easiest way to find out whether the pan is suitable

is with a magnet. If the magnet is attracted by the pan

bottom and stays “stuck” to the same, the pan is made of

ferromagnetic material and can be used on your induction

hob.

We recommend you use pans with a very flat and thick

bottom and avoid at all costs all cookware with irregular

rough bases which could scratch the glass surface.

Safety cut out

Your appliance is fitted with a safety cut out which inter-

venes after a certain amount of time (see table below)

depending on the power setting. When the safety cut out

has intervened, the power display indicates “0”.

for example: the back right cooking zone is set to 5 and

the front left zone is set to 2. The back right zone will turn

off after 3 hours of operation and the front left zone will

turn off after 10 hours of operation.

To unlock the controls, turn the hob off by pressing the

key.

For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or other

active implants:

The hob complies with all current standards on

electromagnetic interference.

Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in keeping with

legal requirements (89/336/CEE directives). It is designed

not to create interference on any other electrical apparatus

being used on condition that the apparatus in question also

complies with this legislation.

Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic fields.

To avoid any interference between your induction hob and

a pacemaker, the latter must be designed to comply with

relevant regulations.

In this respect, we can only guarantee our own product

conformity. Please consult the pacemaker manufacturer

or your doctor concerning its conformity or any possible

incompatibility.

Hob care

 Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the

appliance.

The vitroceramic glass used for the heating surface is

smooth and poreless and it is also resistant to thermal

shocks and to mechanical shocks under normal condi-

tions of use. In order to preserve these properties, we rec-

ommend you care for your hob as follows:

• for ordinary maintenance, just wipe it with a damp

sponge and dry it thoroughly using paper towels.

• If the hob is dirty, rub clean using a special cleaner

suitable for vitroceramic glass, rinse off and dry

thoroughly.

• food residue and dirt can be removed using a special

scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do not wait for

the hob to cool down in order to avoid incrustations.

For excellent results, use a special stainless steel wool

pad for vitroceramic glass cleaning soaked in soapy

water.

• When the hob is clean, you can apply a special product

for the care and protection of the same: this type of

product leaves an invisible film on the surface of the

hob to protect the same against any spills and boiled-

over food. It is best if you do this when the hob is

lukewarm or cold.

• Make sure you always rinse the hob with clean water

and dry it thoroughly: otherwise the cleaning products

could become encrusted onto the hob during

subsequent cooking.

Recommendations

• Never use abrasive or corrosive substances, such

as aerosol cleaners for grills and ovens, stain removers

or rust removers, scouring powders and abrasive

sponges: even the delicate ones could scratch the hob

surface irreversibly.

• We recommend you keep all items which could melt

away from the hob, such as plastic utensils, sugar

or products with a high sugar content. Should liquid

boil over onto the hob surface, remove it immediately

(while the hob is still hot) using a razor blade scraper,

in order to avoid damaging the surface.

• Use this hob exclusively for cooking. Do not place

items on the hob when the same is not in use. Do not

use the hob as a work surface (by placing lids,

saucepans or dishcloths on it, for example), nor as a

chopping board.

• Never leave aluminium wrappers, aluminium foil and

plastic cookware on the hob when hot or still warm.

• Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure cleaners

to clean your appliance.

• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids,

etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.

• Never heat up unopened tins: they could burst.

The guarantee does not cover damage to the hob caused

by incorrect use.

Maintenance and care

Advice on using your appliance

To get the best from your hob, it is vital that you follow a

few fundamental rules during cooking and when preparing

food.

• Use pans with a flat bottom so they adhere fully to the

heating zone.

• Always use pans whose diameter covers the cooking

zone fully so that all the available heat can be used.

• Make sure the pan base is always clean and dry, to

guarantee good contact and long life for the cooking

zones and pans alike.

• Avoid using pans used normally on gas burners. The

concentration of heat on gas burners can warp the

bottom of the pan, consequently you would never obtain

the desired result when using the pan on the glass

ceramic hob.

• Never leave a cooking zone on without a pan on it as

the maximum heat level would be reached very quickly,

which could damage the heating elements.

• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and

mechanical shocks. However, it may break due to a

shock caused by a sharp object. In this case, unplug

the appliance immediately and contact an authorised

after-sales service centre to have it repaired.

Always keep your hob clean. Before proceeding with main-

tenance operations, check that all the cooking zones are

turned off and have cooled down completely.

Stainless steel frame (only on some models)

Stainless steel can stain as an effect of enduring contact

with limescale in water or as an effect of highly aggres-

sive detergents (containing phosphorus). We recommend

you rinse and dry it thoroughly after maintenance. It is

preferable to remove any water spills immediately.
